Why is Kasich still in? (votes, interviews, campaign, polls)

[Asgardian]

Rubio who left over a month ago has 171 delegates and Kasich only has 148


Plus he is playing the dirty alliance and hoping to get a shot at the convention. Desperation and the crave for power.


Lets say there is a brokered convention, does he really think he could even get 1237? What kind of math is he relying on?


Or he just wants to settle for a VP or cabinet spot with Cruz.


Him denying that his alliance was all about derailing Trump killed my respect for him. I used to have respect for the man in my posts. I would have rather seen him go solo and lose than trying to cuddle up to either Cruz or Trump.

Contested convention.

1. If he leaves the race, the rules for Ohio are the delegates would go to the second place candidate (Trump).
2. He's being funded by Soros who wants Hillary Clinton to be president and realizes if Kasich is the nominee that will happen.
3. He's there to split the moderate votes with Trump because GOP is part of the anti-people movement.
4. He's just a POS.

To Stop Trump.

Why did you bother to ask? Everyone knows this.

He's a puppet as long as his Super Pac funds him he's cool...what do you expect from a Lehman Bros employee? He would eat doo doo during a live interview if his puppetmaster wanted. Lately during interviews he snaps back cuz he makes no sense...

By asking, it creates another new thread for the pro-Trump people to pile into,

[Retroit]

The convention being in his home state probably has something to do with it.

...I'm not sure what though. Maybe he plans to send in the National Guard to hold the place hostage till they give him the nomination?

He's in because Soros paid him to stay in, and "just in case".

That's about it, really.

A simple search of Governor Kasich’s 2016 Presidential campaign donations lists the Soros Fund Management as the sixth highest individual donor with $202,700. The seventh largest donor is the Duquesne Family Office with $150,000. On the Super PAC side, Kasich’s New Day for America received $150,000 from Stanley Drukenmiller (who operates the Duquesne Family Office) and $200,000 from Scott Beset, who is employed by the Soros Fund Management.

A lot of people seem to have forgot that he is still running lol.

I use to respect him but now he looks pathetic. "Yeah I only won one state out of like 42 so far and even in that state I only won with 43%. I'm definitely gonna be president guys". What a Jackass.

Maybe he's just completely obvious to all the polls and thinks he's winning everywhere.
